RainnOnMyParade_w4917_300After firefighter Rainn Harris rescues Geneva Carson from being stuck in a tree, she feels she owes him. Helping to care for his autistic niece comes easy, but her attraction to Rainn is a different story. Being drawn to a man twelve years her junior metes internal havoc as Geneva attempts to balance responsibility and personal fulfillment. And the prospect of becoming a middle-aged mom to a special-needs child sends Geneva into a tailspin of conflicting emotions.

As the custodial parent for his young niece, Rainn is determined to be a better parent than his absentee sister. When Geneva agrees to help care for Mia, Rainn is overjoyed. He admires Geneva’s compassion and enthusiasm for life, and expects she’ll be a positive influence on Mia. What he doesn’t expect is to fall in love with the beautiful and vital woman. But Geneva’s hung up on their age difference, and he must convince her of his sincerity before they will ever have a chance at happiness together.

As tension threatens to pull them apart, both must learn to rely on the Lord to direct their futures—whether that means two lives joined or paths in opposite directions.

A Christmas Excerpt from Sage and Sweetgrass

Print PDF

“Wow, guys. It’s crazy out there! There’s a glaze on top of the snow so every step I took crunched and broke like I was on ice breaking on the water. Way cool. Check this out.” Jaxson turned his back, and dragged a huge pine bough, dripping snow, through the front door.

Sage hurried to slam out the blast of icy air.

Jaxson kept right on talking. “The ice broke this off and when I saw it, I grabbed it. Grandpa, I’ve never seen a Christmas tree in your place. We’ve got one now.”

Sage ignored the commotion and trounced down the hall, mumbling what sounded like, “sewing supplies.”

“I’ll find something to stand this branch in,” Jax said, on his way to the garage. “I’ve got this tree business under control.”

Lezlie shrugged and set aside the letters. “Guess we’ll finish these later. I’ll pop some corn for stringing.”

Lanae turned on the radio and a Christmas-carol medley filled the air. An hour later, the adults were scrunched tight on the couch, and Jaxson sat in the recliner. They remained in silence with the lights off, hot chocolate in hand.

The “tree” looked all right, where it listed some from its foundation of sand in a gallon can covered with foil. Sage had surprised them all when he brought out a jar of colored buttons, reminding Lanae of Geneva’s vast collection. Using needles and thread, they had strung strands of buttons as well as popcorn, and Lezlie created a garland of colored paper clips. Jaxson covered star-shaped cardboard in foil to top it all off. The tree looked colorful with their efforts.

Lanae wondered. This family owned no ornaments, perhaps they made them each year? Or maybe, with the death of Becca, they simply celebrated at Lezlie’s home…and Sage didn’t bother with a tree at his own home. Somehow, that seemed so sad to Lanae.

LoRee Peery believes she is a blessed woman who experiences redemptive grace and Nebraska's sense of place.
